Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): causes, symptoms, and treatment options | Urocat

Описание: In this video, we explain what a urinary tract infection (UTI) is, one of the most common infections affecting the bladder, also known as cystitis.

-Typical symptoms of cystitis include:
-Burning or stinging sensation during urination
-Blood in the urine
-Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
-Sudden onset of urinary discomfort

Although cystitis may resolve on its own, if left untreated it can spread to the kidneys and cause a serious infection requiring urgent treatment. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by a urine test to detect harmful bacteria.

Treatment options include:

•A course of antibiotics (which must always be completed, even if symptoms improve early)
•Lifestyle modifications such as staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and practicing proper toilet hygiene
•Preventive measures for recurrent infections, including probiotics, food supplements, or oral antiseptic tablets
•Bladder instillation therapy (liquid medication placed directly into the bladder to create a protective lining)
•Vaginal estrogen for postmenopausal women with frequent infections
